Abstract

The main aim of dynamic intersection management is to make instant detection of vehicles both at the intersection and approaching it. In this sense, vehicle detection sensors have been preferred for dynamic intersection management. In this article, a LiDAR sensor system that can detect the number, velocity, and class of vehicles at intersections with different densities and also the length of vehicle queues that may occur at this intersection has been studied. In this study, 96.36 % success has obtained in the detection of the velocity, and 96.35 % success has also obtained in the queue detection. This study, which includes the data taken from a unidimensional LiDAR sensor and the capabilities of a 3D LiDAR sensor, stands out in terms of price and performance.

Dinamik Kavşak Yönetimi İçin Tek-Yönlü LiDAR Sensör ile Yol Yoğunluk Hesabı

Abstract

Dinamik kavşak yönetimi, kavşaktaki ve kavşağa yaklaşmakta olan araçların anlık tespit edilmesinden geçmektedir. Bu anlamda dinamik kavşak yönetimi için araç tespit sensörleri tercih sebebi olmuştur. Bu makalede farklı yoğunluklara sahip kavşaklardaki araçların sayısını, hızını, sınıfını ve yine bu kavşakta oluşabilecek olan araç kuyruklarının uzunluğunu tespit edebilen lidar sensörlü bir sistem üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada hız doğruluk tespitinde 96,36 %, kuyruk uzunluğu tespitinde ise 96,35 % başarı elde edilmiştir. Tek boyutlu bir lidar sensörden alınan veriler ile 3D lidar sensörün yapabileceği kabiliyetleri barındıran bu çalışma, fiyat ve performans açısından öne çıkmaktadır.
